Mathematics

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

step1 Isolate the square root on the left hand side

    Original equation

    √2x-5-4 = -x

    Isolate

    √2x-5 = 4-x

step2 eliminate the radical on the left hand side

    Raise both sides to the second power

    (√2x-5)2 = (4-x)2

    After squaring

    2x-5 = x2-8x+16

step3 Solve the quadratic equation

    Rearranged equation

    x2  - 10x  + 21 = 0

    This equation has two rational roots:

      {x1, x2}={7, 3}

step4 Check that the first solution is correct

    Original equation, root isolated

    √2x-5 = 4-x

    Plug in 7 for  x  

     √2•(7)-5 = 4-(7)

     Simplify

     √9 = -3

     Solution does not check

     3 ≠ -3

step5 Check that the second solution is correct

    Original equation, root isolated

    √2x-5 = 4-x

    Plug in 3 for  x  

     √2•(3)-5 = 4-(3)

     Simplify

     √1 = 1

     Solution checks !!

    Solution is:

     x = 3

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question:)

The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
